ERAS is one of the most fundamental things that's happened to surgery in the last years, apart from keyhole surgery, and interestingly, it doesn't change surgery at all.
Imagine bouncing back from surgery with less pain and fewer opioids. Sounds too good to be true? Dr. Michael Scott, President of ERAS USA, explains how Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is making this a reality. Hosted by Dr. Roneet Lev on 'High Truths on Drugs and Addiction', this episode dives into the transformative power of ERAS in perioperative care. Dr.
Scott, a seasoned anesthesiologist and critical care expert, shares how ERAS optimizes every stage of the surgical process, from pre-op to recovery. Gone are the days when patients were sent home with a hefty supply of opioid painkillers. ERAS introduces innovative non-opioid pain management techniques like nerve blocks and ketamine pumps. These methods not only alleviate pain but also reduce anxiety and the risk of opioid addiction. Dr.
Scott's insights reveal how this multidisciplinary approach tailors care plans to individual needs, taking into account factors like anemia, blood pressure, and diabetes. But ERAS isn't just about cutting down on opioids. It's about enhancing the overall surgical experience. By empowering patients to actively participate in their care, ERAS reduces anxiety and improves satisfaction. Imagine going into surgery with a clear plan that addresses your unique health needs and coming out with a smoother, faster recovery. Dr.
Scott highlights the cost-effectiveness of ERAS, emphasizing that better patient outcomes don't have to come with a hefty price tag. This patient-centered approach not only improves quality care but also offers significant savings for healthcare systems. Tune in to this episode of 'High Truths on Drugs and Addiction' to learn how ERAS is changing the game in surgical care.
Whether you're facing surgery or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights into how modern medicine is making recovery quicker, safer, and more comfortable.
